Health professionals implicit bias of patients with low socioeconomic status (SES) and its effects on clinical decision-making: a scoping review.

HP decision-making is at times influenced by non-medical factors for people of low SES, and assumptions are made based on implicit bias and stereotyping, which compound or exacerbate health inequalities. Research that focuses on decision-making when the HP has a high cognitive load, would help the health community to better understand this potential influence.
